Gliiiiiiiiiiiiitch. (I am Pandora Kouti on there if you'd like to friend me there. There is also a Dreamwidth group!) I was doing Sims Social immediately before I started Glitch because I adore Sim games, and I got hyounpark addicted, but then Glitch Happened.
Myst is beautiful but it annoyed the crap out of me for the longest time - it felt like there was more pressure for me to figure out what to do in the world to get anything to happen, rather than me feeling like, "Ooh, there's this nifty gorgeous world to explore, I wonder what happens if I do this?" I finally got it for my phone when it was released awhile back, but am still running around the first area trying to figure things out.
I don't know if there's a version of Katamari Damacy for the Wii (I'd thought Beautiful Katamari was being translated to the Wii, but now seems that may not have happened?), but I found it pretty easy to learn the motions for, and it's a lot of fun when you've had a crappy day and then you come home and take it out on the world by rolling up everything in the world. ;) I'm not sure if it's the kind of 3D motion that might make you nauseous, though? Haven't tried any of the 3D games you listed ...
The Final Fantasy series is still one of my alltime favorites - as the numbers go up, the stories get better - this might be something you watch while CB plays? Especially FFX. First time a video game made me *weep*. Other potential "watch but don't play" games - I've been watching Xenosaga while Hyoun plays, because the story and cut scenes are awesome, but I just found the actual gameplay irritating and boring. Though caveat, these are all PS/PS2 games as far as I know ...
